David Bell's contract with the Cincinnati Reds is up after 2023 which brings up the question, will he be the Reds skipper when the Reds are good again? Jeff and Steve have pointed toward 2024 as the year the Reds will be good again, but David Bell isn't currently under contract during that season. Barry Larkin could be in the manager's seat and David Bell may be in the front office for the Reds in 2024. Also, Mike Minor made a rehab start Tuesday night which means we are close to having the Reds starting rotation back to full strength. What that means for Vladimir Gutierrez's near future and what effect that might have on the trade rumors about Luis Castillo and Tyler Mahle.
